... with Tom Derringer and the Aluminum Airship, a fun and unusual pulp-fiction romp with a YA twist!

My pleasure!

As if I had nothing else to read. But LWE consistently delivers readable and enjoyable books; I'll have to watch for this when I'm at the bookstore.

I don't think it's going to be at a bookstore; it's a self-pub, so you have to order it online.

Thanks for the tip; I'll still notice LWE now and then as I cruise through Powell's but I won't feel worried not seeing it there. This is an inconvenience to me, though, as I'm poorly set up to pay for things online. Do you know why this wasn't conventionally published?

I'm not SURE that LWE submitted it for trad publishing, but if he did I'd guess it wasn't trad published for the same reason Polychrome wasn't; it's really not quite like any of the other stuff currently being published and the publishers weren't sure how to sell it.

He's done several self-pubs so far (I think his first was Vika's Avenger), and he also helped me considerably with Polychrome.
